Piercing in San Francisco

“I just stopped in to have help putting a piece of jewelry back in. Although it was a small thing- these folks are just clearly good folks. It was friendly, professional, fun, good humored, and the artists are clearly talented and top of their game. I highly recommend you stop in!“

“It was my first time at 13 Bats. I've had work done by 4 different tatt artists over the course of my life but Amanda was hands down the best. They are very professional and thoughtful. They made the whole experience easy and smooth. Time flew cuz it was a delightful experience. Amanda is great at their craft and have excellent customer service. You can trust their expertise. Don't hesitate to book with Amanda for your next tatt! Booking was also super easy! The rest of the staff is also helpful and friendly. Make 13 Bats your next destination for a tattoo or piercing. If I could I'd give this place more stars than allowed.“

“Came into the shop a few months ago for a nose piercing & to get my ears re-pierced. Alex was my piercer & he immediately helped me feel at ease. He was kind, knowledgeable, & funny! Nose piercing was so easy, & he talked me through each step. Looking forward to coming back to the shop in a few months once it’s fully healed to swap out the stud for a ring“

“This was my second time being pierced by Chris at Cold Steel. I’m from the originally from the East Coast and have been pierced at high-end studios in Philadelphia, New York City, and Los Angeles.

I never write reviews, but I wanted to write a review to express my gratitude and appreciation for Chris’s attention to detail, professionalism, and thorough approach. After my last visit in April 2025, which was with my sister who was visiting from Oregon, we both agreed he is in a class of his own re:piercing. I returned to get my conch pierced today and was once again so happy with my choice and our exchange. Chris will have repeat customers (both my sister and I) for as long as I am residing in SF. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped here for my daughters' 16th birthday (first time) and we loved it. Staff was super chill, inviting and knowledgeable. Shotout to Zach and Analouise. Will be returning!!“

“Professional, luxury, clean, knowledgeable & calm. Everything you want in a piercing parlor. Took my kiddo here for her first piercing for her birthday. The team made her experience unforgettable and so fun! This is a parlor you pay top dollar for, but there is something for everyone here. 100% recommend.“

“I was soooo nervous to get my nose pierced, Jay and everyone there made me so much more comfortable by explaining the process and telling me how to maintain it. Would definitely go back for future piercings!“

“You will NEVER meet another artist like Wilson and Apple. They are unlike any other tattoo professional Their work and process is very Pro!“
